Chapter 305: Threats

305 Threats

He had his arms around her and she was smiling… happy?

Her mom blinked twice to be sure that she wasn't seeing things;

''Who is this? What is he doing here? ''

She asked, shifting her gaze from her daughter to the man beside her;

''Mom, let me explain… ''

''I asked you question, and I'm sure, that is not a reply! ''

Her mom's chest was heaving heavily, and she held onto the door to prevent herself from falling;

''He's my fiancé mom…''

''What did you just say? Are you crazy? Xin Yong, what has come over you? ''

Her father, who heard the commotion going on outside stepped out but was in more shock than his wife.

''What's going on here? ''

He asked, creasing his brows;

''What is this man doing here? ''

Actually, Jin Yue had expected their reaction; so he wasn't entirely surprised;

''I can explain…''

''Explain what? Explain what exactly? Have you gone mad? ''

Her father vibrated as he screamed at her;

''Quickly get into the house, and you leave my house immediately! ''

Xin Yong refused to move, she clutched onto Jin Yue's shirt, tears welling up in her eyes;

''Dad…''

''I don't want to repeat myself; else you will face the consequences! ''

She quickly turned to look at Jin Yue and he nodded at her signaling her that she should go in;

Grudgingly, she let go of his arm and walked into the house;

''Leave this place and never return! '' Her father blared before shutting the door against him. Jin Yue stood there for a while before walking to his car and driving off.

''What has gotten over you? ''

Her mom cried as she walked into the house. She couldn't believe that her daughter could go back willingly to the man who had hurt her without mercy and threw her out of his house; that was unbelievable!

''Let me explain, he didn't mean to hurt me…. ''

''Can you hear yourself? He killed your child Xin Yong! ''

''He didn't know I was carrying our baby and besides it wasn't intentional…''

Her mom's lips fell open as she watched her daughter unbelievably;

To think that she was standing in front of her and supporting that beast of a man was unbelievable;

''You are not going to see him again!''

Her father commanded;

''Please let me explain why I am doing this…''

''Alright speak! ''

Her mom said and sat down beside her dad, shaking from pure anger.

''I know this is a lot to take in at a time, yes, Jin Yue hurt me, badly at that, even caused the loss of my child, our child; but he acted out of jealousy and he has seen his wrongs and had apologized sincerely.

He has proven to me that he loves me and I can't keep hurting myself pretending that I don't, because I do, I really do.

She stopped, breathing heavily as she watched their expression;

''Is that all? ''

Her father asked, raising his brows;

Xin Yong was stunned but then she nodded;

''Good, now listen good, I don't want to see you near that man ever again, if you dare go against my orders, you'll cease to be my child! ''

Her father blared and stood up, stomping out of the parlor.

Her mother's mouth was wide open in shock, although their daughter had acted foolishly; the punishment was quite too much;

She stared at her husband's retreating form before walking after him, ignoring Xin Yong, who was yet to recover from what her father just said.

After sometime, she dragged her feet to her room and to her bathroom, after washing her face, she lay on her bed and called Jin Yue;

He picked it up immediately as though he had been waiting for her call;

''I'm sorry…''

As soon as he picked the call; Xin Yong apologized sadly; her parents had not welcomed him and had even banged the door to his face; that was quite downgrading;

''Why? I should even be the one apologizing for putting you through this, if I hadn't acted stupidly, we wouldn't be facing this difficulty now;

Jin Yue replied, brushing his hand through his hair;

He had parked a few meters away from her hose, though he was close by, he was still a bit far from her house; he didn't leave immediately, in case she need him;

''I've told you to stop blaming yourself, we all make mistakes, okay? ''

Xin Yong tried to make him feel okay but it wasn't working;

''What did they say? '' He asked after a brief moment of silence;

She sighed; ''He asked me not to speak to you anymore; else he would disown me… too bad, if only he knew we are already married! ''

The both of them burst out in a fit of laughter;

''They're just angry, I'm their only child, they can't possible disown me? '' She replied laughing a bit;

The call became quiet, each listening to the other's heartbeat, although they weren't together, they felt as though they were physically near each other;

''I miss you already; ''

Jin Yue said after a long while;

''Me too; don't worry it won't be long before we would be able to wake up in each other's arms again; ''

''I'll have to go now, Sweet; ''

Xin Yong creased her brows; ''Why? We just started talking! ''

''You need to eat and sleep, okay? Text me when you wake up;''

She rolled her eyes;

''Alright, bye, love you, ''

''Love you too. ''

…

It's been three weeks since grandparents returned from the states; although things had been quiet for a while, since grandpa and grandma were mostly sightseeing on new tourist centers in the city, caring less about the marriage alliance. They only remembered it when Da Xia came around, which she had been doing lately.
